  • Publication number: 20250117589
    Abstract: An inverse design system combines a large language model (LLM) with a task-specific optimizer, which includes a search function, a forward model, and a comparator. The LLM adjusts parameters of the optimizer's components in response to a design scenario. Then the optimizer processes the design scenario to produce design candidates. Optionally, the LLM learns from the design candidates in an iterative process. A stochastic predictive modeling system combines an LLM with input distributions and a forward model. The LLM adjusts one or more of the input distributions and/or the forward model in response to a forecast scenario. Then the forward model processes a sampling of the input distributions to produce a forward distribution. Optionally, the LLM informs the sampling process. Optionally, the LLM learns from the forward distribution.

  • Patent number: 11000842
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for applying titanium dioxide-based photocatalytic coatings to a carrier material without using binders. The invention also relates to the use of a coating. According to the invention, a titanium dioxide suspension together with a carrier liquid is sprayed onto a hot carrier in the form of a fine aerosol so that the carrier liquid flash evaporates and titanium dioxide particles of the titanium dioxide suspension are flash sintered onto the carrier material, water being used as the carrier liquid and the carrier material having a temperature of 150 to 250° C. during spraying. According to the invention, a porous and yet stable layer for a catalyst for an efficient and rapid degradation of pollutants is produced.
